NEW YORK. September 81, - The
Tribune says: Secretary Fairchild has
been urged with great solemnity by
prominent bankers and other citizens,
during the past week, to give relief 10
the money market by large purchases
Of bonds without being too particular
as TO the price. It ia eandldly sd-
milted that such purchases would
start q strong rally In the stock aud
other speculative markets, and the
Secretary lie aware that this explains
the motive Of some who appeal TO him.
There is real want Of loanable
iunds In commercial clrcles, and the
most legitimate trade, ag well a. some
branches OF productive ipdustry, 10
unQusstionably embari ass,d by lack
OF available resources.

Secretary 10 perfectly aware that, with
higher prices for stocks, grain, pro.
visions, cattle, and other objects Of
speculation, more money w5uld DO re-
quired 10 carry and 10 handle the

Secretary FaircEild should under.
stand that no financial relief, but only
more pressure with final collapse, lies
that way. He did not help business,

Secretary could loan or pay direct 10
the merchants or manufacturers, and
not 10 the holders CT bonds, that
would be another matter. But the
holders Of bonds are not the mer.
